A phenomenon has emerged in Japan which involves males labelled as “tight men” who wear silicone bodysuits and lifelike masks to look like women in public spaces.

The trend has sparked concerns about the safety of real women.

Online sources suggest that their outfits are likely inspired by Animegao Kigurumi, a masked cosplay style rooted in Japanese anime culture.

Animegao Kigurumi enthusiasts typically wear bodysuits and anthropomorphic masks to more accurately portray their favourite anime characters.

In February, a video went viral on X showing a person dressed in a silicone bodysuit with a female-look mask, sitting on the subway.

TikTok influencers conducting street interviews in the city also noticed the person occasionally walking by and looking into their cameras.

On April 21, an internet user, nicknamed Kawaso, posted on Togetter, a Japanese online forum, revealing that the “woman” was actually a man wearing female clothing.

“He deliberately sat in crowded areas with many women, positioning his body towards them. Even though I was sitting a bit far away, I felt scared,” Kawaso wrote.

Kawaso also claimed to have reported the matter to the police, but no action was taken.

Another internet user, @natsoiku, said these “tight men” are often seen at the Shibuya subway station and around Shinjuku in Tokyo.

Some wear full-body black tights with masks devoid of facial features.

The Japanese media has dubbed them “tight men”, a reference to the fact that they dress in tightfitting body suits.

Women (real women) are not allowed to express fear or trepidation over dudes who pretend to be women.

Japanese men grope women on trains so much there are now women only pink train cars for their safety.
Japanese men apparently engage in a LOT of harassing, stalking and molesting of women.
Just mentioning that maybe these perps are dressing up to go in women’s areas.

In Kabuki, all of the female roles are played by men. They are very convincing.
